Dancer Dmitry Peregolia, who was a backup dancer for singer Tatyana Bulanova, recounted the details of his dismissal from the group on social networks.
According to him, he does not hold a grudge against the artist whom he has worked with for 25 years. But long before the dance took off online, he requested time off during the fall tour.
— Last June, I called Tatiana and honestly admitted that due to back problems I had to abandon the autumn tour. There are about 35 concerts, that is, a lot of cities: every day there is a concert, or even two, every day there is a transfer to another city. I realized I couldn’t take it out anymore. Because before that we worked for about a year and a half on such a schedule.
Peregolia realized that if he did not recover, he would not have time to dance. He indicated that he made the decision for a month, realizing that there might be consequences. As a result, he was removed from short summer tours, which the artist did not refuse, and concerts began to be performed less and less.
“They wanted to punish me and teach me a lesson.” “There was personal dissatisfaction and a reluctance to understand and accept the situation,” Peregolia concluded.
In November 2025, the representative of the couple Maxim and Alena Alalikin, who were backup dancers for Tatiana Bulanova, Arthur Bazinyan, said that their departure was connected with the conflict with the artist’s new manager Sergei, during which physical force was allegedly used against Alena.
